APNU says 2020 election fraud trial exposing PPP/C’s own irregularities

(Kaieteur News) – General Secretary of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Sherwain Benjamin, on Friday said the ongoing election fraud trial is vindicating the party’s longstanding position that there is no evidence of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) attempting to rig the 2020 elections.

Benjamin, responding to questions at an APNU press conference, said the evidence emerging before the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court is instead raising questions about the conduct of the PPP/C during the disputed elections.

“We are saying, we have said, and we’ve said today again in our press statement, let the PPP/Civic bring the evidence of fraud. And you have rightly pointed out in saying whether we feel vindicated that the evidence has come out before the court has indicated that the PPP/Civic has rigged those elections. We’ve always maintained that when it comes to elections in this country, the PPP/Civic has always been part of doing those kinds of nefarious activity. And that is why they hide behind these trumped-up fraud allegations and election-rigging allegations,” he added.
